THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
APPLY:
- A booking fee
of $ 625.00 (half) is to accompany the signing of this contract
and the
unpaid balance of the service fee is to be paid when the mare is pronounced
safe in foal. All board and expenses will be paid monthly. The mare
will not be released to the mare owner until such time as stallion
service fee, all veterinary expenses, board bills and any other
charges incurred
on behalf of the mare, have been paid in full. A Breeders Certificate
will be issued when the manager is notified that the resulting foal
has arrived and all expenses have been paid in full.
- Mare Owner agrees
to give Manager ample opportunity to settle the mare having bred
her
through at least two heat periods. Stallion Owner does not give a Live
Foal Guarantee for any mare leaving the Breeding Farm unless the
mare
has been pregnancy-checked and found to be in foal by the Manager's
Veterinary. If the mare leaves before pregnancy-checked, then all
unpaid
board, expenses and breeding fee become due and payable and the live
foal guarantee then becomes VOID. If, however, for any reason the
mare
does not settle, Mare Owner will hold Manager harmless. The above applies
to the normal breeding period which is understood by the parties
involved
to be from February 1st until May of the year involved and both
parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any mare during this period
of time will be considered as having been bred under terms and conditions
of this stallion service contract for the year involved.
- It is further agreed
that should the mare die or become unfit for breeding, the mare owner
will be allowed an approved substitute mare. Furthermore, should the
Stallion die or become unfit for breeding this contract will become
VOID and any money paid as part of the booking fee or stud fee shall
be refunded to mare owner.
- Mare Owner agrees
that neither the Manager, nor the Stallion Owner, nor The Breeding Farm
shall be responsible for any disease, accident, sickness or death to
Mare Owner's foal, whether the foal is with her on arrival or foaled
on the premises. The Mare Owner will likewise not be responsible for
any disease, accident, sickness or death to the Stallion or Stallion
Manager or any employees of the The Breeding Farm.
- Mare Owner agrees
to have the Manager's Veterinarian check Mare Owner's mare for normal
breeding conditions and perform any other veterinary services as deemed
necessary at Mare Owner's expense.
- Negative Coggins
test required on all mares, dated within previous six (6) months. Mare
Owner is requested to furnish Manager with immunization and worming
history from a Veterinarian for all mares brought to the farm for breeding.
Tetanus, sleeping sickness, fluvac and rhinopneumonitis shots will be
administered while the mare is being bred at Mare Owner's expense to
both mare and foal if she has a foal at side if these have not been
administered within the past six (6) months by the Mare Owner's Veterinarian.
These are given at Mare Owner's expense to protect the health program
on the premises of the The Breeding Farm. Mare Owner's mare will automatically
be put on a regular worming program upon arrival at The Breeding Farm.
All Veterinary expenses will be paid by the Mare Owner.
- Live Foal Guarantee:
Stallion Owner gives a Live Foal Guarantee. "Live Foal" is
defined as a foal that stands and nurses without assistance after foaling.
If foal does not stand and nurse and Stallion manager is notified within
seven (7) days of foaling, by a Veterinarian on his letterhead stationery,
then the Mare Owner is entitled to a breeding to the same mare in the
same year as foaling. A chute fee of $300.00 will be charged on
the re-breeding. All other costs incurred on behalf of the mare will
be the responsibility of the Mare Owner.
- A photostatic copy
of the Mare's Registration Certificate (both sides) must be furnished
with this contract as one of the requirements.
- Mare Owner agrees
to pay $10.00 per day for dry mares, $12.00 per day for
